I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone.I added some controls through the designer window and the visible space is filled.How can i scroll down in the designer pane to add more controls?

You filled all the space of the form/Window?
Make it bigger.

If you want the user to be able to scroll through more controls than the form/window can display at a given size, then you first needed to add some sort of scrollable container (Like a panel) - THEN - added the controls into that scrollable container. Scroll bars don't just appear automagically.

This is not form Windows Forms, but for Windows Phone 7. I think the OP is dragging controls to the phone simulator surface and has run out of room.

@OP: The thing is, there is no "room". You shouldn't be using the drag and drop tools, there's a button in Visual Studio where you can split between design and xaml markup.

Just copy and paste your XAML how many times you need.

<StackPanel>
    <Button>Hello</button>
</StackPanel>

"Ok, let's add one more button."

<StackPanel>
    <Button>Hello</button>
    <Button>Hello</button>
</StackPanel>

See?
